The snow has finally stopped but for a while it was piling up. I like to watch Dad shovel show! Although, I'm not much of a fan of the snow. So I watch through the back door staying nice and cozy warm!

Some friends came over for gaming this weekend. Ms. LF played ball with me! Mom thinks I might have a bit of a crush on her but I deny it completely! Note her short hair - she cut it all off to donate it!

We've also been making trips out to the barn to take care of the horses. It's been bitterly cold so I have to get all bundled up in multiple layers of clothes. Here's Dad and me before the tiger coat and mittens go on.

And here I am after the coat! Mom says I walk like the State Puff Marshmallow Man!

Since my birthday was only last month, I got pretty good practice learning how to open gifts. And Mom has been letting me open a few when I seem interested to avoid the Christmas morning meltdown. Here's what Aunt Shelley's mom and sister gave me. Thank you! I love them!

I couldn't stop looking at his face!

It's a very cleaver gift since that's Thomas the Tank Engine and I'm Thomas! I had SO much fun unwrapping the gift - the tissue paper was the best. It did not taste half bad either!

The new outfit will definitely be featured as a fashion statement in a couple months - there's some growing room, which Mom greatly appreciates!

So, it's cold here. Tomorrow the high will be around 23 degrees!! Burrrr. Mom bumdled me up this morning in my reversible tiger coat. It's a hand-me-down from one of our family friends - no idea what brand or where it was purchased or even how old it is. It is one of my favorite coats. And it is SO warm.

Thus, because it is so cold, what more appropriate statement of fashion, than a winter coat?!? (Mom thinks the orange color accentuates my blue eyes.)

We'll get a photo next time we reverse it. In the mean time, this is the coat as I wore it today.

Yesterday when I was "helping" Mom clean out my room, I opened my toy chest and discovered a "new toy".

According to Mom, it is a loaner she's been storing for several months but she never knew how it worked. However, I was most insistent that she get it out of the toy chest so she finally complied (only after much convincing).

Upon examination of the toy, I left my room and went to my bin with all the spheres in the living room. I brought back two spheres and placed them on the toy and it came to life. It was so cool I played with it the entire time Mom cleaned my closet.

Me enjoying the toy and getting some encouragement from Mom.

Thanks Ms. Nancy for the loaner so many months ago. You definitely have the coolest toys!
